I think between 140 and 170 on the freeways depending on outside temps. and it shoots up to 210 in traffic almost anytime.

it's a very interesting thread...
pretty much all domestic V-8's want a 180 thermostat, except new EFI, they run 195's.

casaleenie, your problem is not enough airflow, you need a better puller fan and shroud.
